After My Flash Marriage with the Sick Beauty, I Reached the Pinnacle of My Life - Chapter 105.2

It wouldn’t hurt to pause for a while. The main thing is that I don’t plan to do this project in a small way; I really want to make it happen. User demand is so high. If we do it well, sales will increase even more.”

In short, who would mind having more money? Although the Xia Corporation is one of the best in this city, it is still a bit far behind the Wen Corporation.

Xia Shishi was not convinced and wanted to do better.

Fang Yingcai chuckled a few times, seeming to have already guessed Xia Shishi’s thoughts: “Never mind, just do it. Speaking of which, my juniors also complain about severe hair loss during the holidays. If we make it, they can use it too.”

After the discussion, Xia Shishi put down the documents and went to R&D Department Three to check on the new product.

It is currently in the preparation stage and has not been officially launched yet. This product is where Xia Shishi has invested most of her effort, aiming for it to be safe for pregnant women to use.

The ingredients in the cosmetics have been tested many times, and the trial reports have been organized, showing no problems. However, this is Xia Shishi’s first independent research and development, so she is still a little nervous.

After checking it over, she hurried to her father’s office.

It so happened that her father was discussing the endorsement issue with someone. Xia Shishi was nervous and worried, but her father was very trusting, intending to make this product the main focus for the time being.

A large amount of capital has been spent on everything from packaging design to promotion.

The endorser will also affect sales, so the company wants to invite the current top celebrity to endorse the product. Xia Shishi heard several names when she walked in and did not interrupt.

Just then, someone looked at Xia Shishi: “Why don’t we just let Miss Xia endorse it?”

“Yes, yes. Miss Xia has done live broadcasts to promote the new products every time before, and the results have been great, proving that netizens really like and approve of Miss Xia.”

Xia Shishi wasn’t sure if they were sincere or joking, but she didn’t intend to be the so-called endorser.

But since they brought it up: “I recommend Ye Murou.”

“Ye Murou?”

They looked at each other.

Ye Murou is currently an actress and has filmed a few works, but her fame is not very high; her reputation far outweighs her popularity.

Xia Shishi: “Yes. Her partner is a doctor, so if we let her endorse it, wouldn’t customers feel more assured about the product?”

Her father saw through her little trick—she wanted to help a friend earn more money. He drank his water and watched his daughter argue with the group of people, not stepping in to voice his opinion.

It wouldn’t be easy to convince these people to agree to Ye Murou as the endorser, and it was impossible to convince Xia Shishi to endorse it.

In the end, they could only postpone the discussion.

She ran up and down the company all day, doing a lot of things.

When she got off work, Xia Shishi drove to the Wen Corporation. She was done for the day, but Wen Jiao must be working overtime at this time.

She parked the car in the underground garage and took the elevator to find Wen Jiao. The passing employees all recognized Xia Shishi and greeted her kindly before returning to their desks to work overtime.

Most people at the Xia Corporation are off work by this time, with only a few people on duty.

The Wen Corporation was the complete opposite. Many people were still working overtime at this time. They probably felt embarrassed to leave since their top boss was still working overtime.

No wonder this company can grow so large and powerful. Xia Shishi felt envious and began to think how great it would be if the Xia Corporation also worked overtime like this.

This thought only lasted for two seconds because she didn’t want to work overtime; she hated working overtime.

Since she couldn’t inspire her employees like Wen Jiao, then forget it.

When she arrived at Wen Jiao’s office, Wen Jiao looked up: “You’re here. Sit down and eat.”

Xia Shishi: “…”

This person was so confident that she knew Xia Shishi would come over that she planned to eat dinner together in the office.

Just as Xia Shishi was about to sit down and open the lunch box, Aunt Wen knocked and came in: “Are you eating? Can I join you?”

We are all family, we are all family.

Of course, Aunt Wen’s purpose in coming was not just to eat. She didn’t come earlier or later, but only when Xia Shishi came. She must have been relying on Xia Shishi being there to make Wen Jiao more agreeable.

Now that Wen Jiao has become the CEO, even if those uncles want to compete, they can’t cause much trouble.

Since her uncles are like this, her aunt is even less likely to succeed. So Aunt Wen simply gave up those extravagant ideas and only sought a place in the company.

She wasn’t competing with Wen Jiao; she was competing with her brothers.

But she couldn’t win alone, so she needed Wen Jiao’s help, which is why she came over.

Aunt Wen’s position in the company is currently awkward. Relying on being a member of the Wen family, no employee dares to look down on her, but she has no actual status.

There was no way around it; she returned to the company too late.

Xia Shishi ignored her and continued to open her lunch box, which contained sushi, likely ordered from the place they had eaten at last time.

It looked delicious, but there were only two servings. Xia Shishi looked at Aunt Wen, who gave an awkward laugh and took out her own lunch box, her excuse well-prepared.

Then they started eating. Xia Shishi ate quietly, watching the two of them with both eyes, eager to hear what they would talk about.

Aunt Wen initiated the conversation: “The company has been very busy lately, hasn’t it? You and Shishi have such little time together. I feel bad for Shishi.”

Xia Shishi looked at Wen Jiao, thinking she felt bad for herself too.

Wen Jiao replied plainly: “Yes, unfortunately, I can’t spare any time.”

Aunt Wen’s eyes lit up, almost saying directly, ‘I have time.’ But she still spoke earnestly: “I know it’s hard to return to the company after getting married. But you and Shishi don’t plan to have children, so it’s easy to just take a vacation.”

Aunt Wen herself had a child after getting married and only returned to the company two years ago.

In the past two years, she has tried every means to establish a firm foothold, but it is still difficult compared to others who have worked for decades.

However, Wen Jiao doesn’t need to worry; she is the CEO of the company, and this position will always be hers. No one dares to easily displace her. Aunt Wen sighed: “If there’s anything I can do for you to give you two a couple of days together, it would be a good thing for me too.”

She was very candid.

Everyone knew these minor matters, so there was no need to hide anything.

Wen Jiao smiled and said: “Auntie has always been dedicated to the company. I’m relieved to give you things to do.”

She pulled out a document and placed it in front of Aunt Wen: “This is a new business the company is about to expand into. No one in the company is more suitable to do this than you.”

It was called a new business, but it was more than just one project.

Aunt Wen discovered after opening the contract that the Fu Corporation had held on for two years but was finally unable to sustain itself. Once they declared bankruptcy, new opportunities would flow into the market.

And Wen Jiao’s document was precisely about how to seize those opportunities.

If successful, it might become a new “Fu Corporation.” Aunt Wen could feel the importance of this.

And she could also see how much effort Wen Jiao had put into this document. Now, giving this task to Aunt Wen was the biggest help she could offer.

Aunt Wen looked up in disbelief. Wen Jiao smiled and said, “Let’s eat.”

Xia Shishi understood. This matter, just like the cooperation with Shi Cun, had been prepared long ago, just waiting for Aunt Wen to take the bait.

She must have intended to let Aunt Wen do this from the start, but she insisted that Aunt Wen should ask to do it, and after completing it, Aunt Wen would still owe her a favor. Tsk tsk tsk, truly a capitalist.

After Aunt Wen left, Xia Shishi asked Wen Jiao: “Are you really planning to give yourself two days off?”

Wen Jiao nodded: “Yes. Have you forgotten the plan you proposed before?”

“Huh?” Did she propose any plan? Why couldn’t she remember?

“You said that we could go to islands, see mountains, see the sea, and tour foreign landscapes… I should have taken you when we got married, but it’s been delayed until now.”

Their wedding was rushed at the time. After getting married, Xia Shishi had to go to school, and Wen Jiao had to undergo rehabilitation.

After Wen Jiao’s leg was completely healed, she had to return to the company to continue working. This delay lasted until now, almost half a year after Xia Shishi graduated.

Wen Jiao had started preparing long ago and originally intended to ask Xia Shishi where she wanted to go later, but since Aunt Wen came, it was a good time to talk about it.

“You’ve been to many places before, right? Can you take me to see them again.”

Wen Jiao was referring to the former Xia Shishi, who loved to travel everywhere.

Since the two of them got together, Xia Shishi no longer liked going out. Although everyone praised her for becoming more composed, Wen Jiao felt heartache—Xia Shishi could have lived so freely, but now she could only wait for her to spare a few days.

Xia Shishi opened her mouth: “You forgot.”

Wen Jiao looked at her in confusion.

“I haven’t left you for a very long time; I’ve long forgotten,” Xia Shishi sighed, counting the few years following Wen Jiao in her past life and the two years since her rebirth.

The previous experience of being unattached and going wherever she wanted had been completely forgotten. She truly regarded Wen Jiao as her entire world.

How could she possibly remember?

Wen Jiao’s smile faded slightly, and she spoke again, making a promise with significant weight.

“Then I will accompany you to see this world anew.”
